Lie -above extra i speak- the sentiments of every leader of the dethoclatic t .i.trt. Now, it the people of the Unitel States are dispoied for war, we cannot object ; but we cannot endure to see a bet of faai ow demagogues strive to urge the pcoi)le on to cer tain ruin. The nation is not dispoSed for war.— This disposition exist; only in the breasts of such men as the &Mats, of Maryland, Giles, Eppes, &c. of Virginia, and others, their counterparts. The de mocrats pretend to enumerate advantages which slight be gained by war. We shall mention a few of the evils wui it.would flow to the Country in the first instance, and secondly to them individually. The titst consequence •of war would be, that our commerce would be even more thoroughly destroy ed than it was by our . own embargo. .Our coasts would be swept by a hostile sqi:iadron, and our towns would be at the mercy of an enemy. Never was a country more completely unprepared for offensive or defensive operations. For ti.is, our defenceless si tuation, we may thank the policy of Mr. Jefferson. He and his patty have brought us into our present difficulties, and now they can think of no other eit, pedient, but one which would result in distress to the citizens, and ruin to the country. A wise man will not beat himself to spite his neigh, hour; nor will a wise people ruin themselves with the tamt hope of ruibiing another nation. The jus tice of our c,:use is one consideration, our ability to maintain it is another, and both should unite to ren der war expedient. A wise man will accotnmodate his aanins to his means, 'This mode ot reasoning is untiOubtedly humiltatig to our' pride; but that we are, 01. , 1i 6 ed to adopt it, let us thank Thornas.Jeffer -9011 and Insicoahjutors. 'li they had carried on the system commenced by t heFedt;rd'adrriinistration, if, instead ot squanderingthe revel►ue.in , tlie..p,.iychase of barren rind unprotit 7, able 'waters, tliey bad .employed • it in, the-bqiitling ot a navy an4z-raising of fortifications, we might now be in. pA itqatical to _repel the injuries, foreign 5i111,,,• • powtrs. But -iitoatedi, as we now are, we ought to temporize. The,distress citizens would be a conse tieenee flowin g f rom ,the destruction of, commerce. A market may . :now be. had for some portion, if not the whole Of'bur produce but in case of war with Great Britain, it would lie upon the, hands of the farmer.—(Bal. Fed. Rep.) NORFOLK; AUGUST 30:,--Arrived' yesterday, in liamptOn Roads, the British filo - ate L'Africaine, of 40 guns, .Captain Raggett, 4:s days from Plymouth, England, having on board Francis James Jackson, • Esq. his Baitatmiu Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary, and'Minister Plenipotentiary, to the United States Of America, with his wife and three children. MIDDLEBURGH, OCT. 17.—The duties imposed upon artic',es importcd into Walcheren are as follows : On Spanish wines per tun of 2 pipes -6 florins on importation, and 2 florins on exportation,. On bri.ndies per puncheon 3 florins on importa tion ; exportation tree. Rolls per puncheon-3 stivers on importation; export free.

Coal, twin England. per chaldron of 18 sacks -1 florin on importaiion ; 4 stivers on exportation. The,e'duties have been imposed by order of Sir EYRE COOTE ; wheys are upon the point of being introduced upon various articles, of which 1 ahall send you information. MALAGA, OCT. the Danish ships. on au embargo had been laid in the Spanish poets, have been sold, and have fetched very high Vri'ces indeed ; much higher than could be expe6ted. The money produced from them has been deposited in the coffers of Government. Success against the French seems no longer doubtful.. They cannot maintain their ground against, the intrepid Spaniards. Every day we hear fresh accounts of small parties of armed peasants and others having cut off the supplies of the enemy, and sometimes even considerable bodies of men. When the supplies of arms lately sent out for the use of the Gallician and Austurian ariny were landed at Corunna, the peasants of military age flocked in from all quarters, offering themselves as recruits to the• amount of. not less than 40,000. The supply, which did not exceed mono, was however in suffi cent for the regular troops of ROMANA. Now that - the extraordinary demand from Government, created by the late expedition, is at end, we trust that the manufacturers of Birmingham may be permitted 1 0 enter into contracts with the Spanish Leßtion to any extent they ,may think proper. We are as sured that the Spanish Embassy is ready to pay in bard dollars for so large a supply as 300,000 stand. I COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. • Though we have often been deceived in our hopes that the dis , +trba►tces at 614 place- were draw,ng to wards a conclusion, vet those hopes were revived by the general appearance of things on Saturl.tt• hist. The Theatre was well attended at an call) , hour, and 'the tragedy of -Othello was heard through for the first three acts, also a considerable part of the fi)orth, with due attention, 'and the audience evi= dently took a strong interest in the drama. But after this period • the half-price visitors raied the usual spirit of opposition, and nothing could be hentd on the stage for the remainder of the night. Still, however, the opposition seemed to be supported by fewer partizans. _ They were, indeed, determined and resolute, hut the feelings of a great part of the audience obviously revolted against it;ocloof the vio lence that occurred, and seemed solicitous to re store attention to the business of the stage. There was also a greater proportion of Ladies than on the preceding nights, - and very few, indeed of those heroic females who venture to take a part in the contentions. The pit, as 'usual, was the grand scene of confusion. Here a few contests took place, and a Gentleman, whose name is said to be WHtTB, and who, according to report, is a son of one of the Proprietors of the Theatre, had the reso lution to manifest his indignation against the riotous proceedings on foot. This Gentleman was pushed from one place to another, but his spirit was , not to be subdued, and he resisted every attempt to drive him out of the place, till exhausted by the superior force of his adversaries. The only peculiar hostility towards the perfoimers was observable when Mr. C. KEMBLE came on in Cassia, and it was renewed during the drunken scene, but very faintly, and this unwarrantable attack upon an unoffending excited a burst of disapprobation from the audience in general. Several of the Placards were produced, but. soon destroyed. The following were the only two that continued to a►tract attention. • " Farewell, lack Keinhle, a long farewel to all thy great' ness; hadst thou been as zeilous to szrve the Public as t° fill thy own purse, john Bull had never desdrted thee." " On Monday evening will be celebrated a l übilec, in ho- nour of the Viaory gained by lohn Bull over the New Prices." " The unexpired term of the Lease of thiS House tube let.' " The ensuing G rand Jubilee will. be celebrated by a Grand ViCiory over the New Pri,:es ! —Boxes 6s. Pit 3s. 6d." Two or three Orators then attetnred to procure attention, but after uttering a few worth, they were overpo`wered by the clamour of the discontented paity. The public offi,.ers . who were stationed in the Theatre appeared to be very few, and they con- dusted themselves in so inoffensive a manner, as to draw no resentment upon them. After the per foimers had diqnatched the farce of Is he a Prince, in the usual dumb shell), " God save the King," and a short dance in the pit, terminated the performances before the curtain, and the Theatre was cleared aboout half after ten o'clock. •. THE LYCEUM.—Mrs. Erp.tuN performed Albina, in The Will, and Lady Racket, in Three Weeks after Marriage, before. a very crowded audience on Saturday last, and was warmly applauded in bath cliaraaers. ,We are assured that the words " what do you want ?" imputed to Mr. KEMBLE on the first night, when he addressed the audience, were not the words that he really uttered, but that he said, " Ladies and Gentlemen, • I'attend here to know your pleasure." These words we actually heard him deliver.—Mr. LEIGH, indeed, who seems to. have been almost the only person of abilities who addressed the audience, and to have been influenced by public principles, in his comments on -.vhat had fallen from Mr. KEM BLE, said, " the Manager asks us what we want," and these words were received by the audience in general, who could with difficulty hear what was really said on the stage, amidst the clamour and interruption that prevailed, as having been uttered by the latter. We must again declare, that through the whole of the painful task which Mr. KEMBLE had to endure, his language and deportment were Marked by the utmost respect for the public. It is not true, we find, - that HOLMAN is to take the situation left by ELLISTON at the Lyceum The- L atre, as he is shortly to resume his station on the Dublin boards. THE ARMY.—The following Order has been is. sued by the Commander in Chief, granting an Am. treaty to all Military delinquents on the above day : CIRCULAR. (COPY.) " " Horse-Guards, Oa. 17. " The Commander in Chief deeming it proper to mark, by every possible means, the approaching happy event of his Majesty entering on the soth year of his reign, and it appear ing to his Excellency Sir David Dundas, that an event of this nature cannot be distinguished in a more appropriate manner than by an Ad of general Amnesty and Forgiveness, I have received his commands to signify to you that all de.. linquents confined for offences of a military nature belonging to regiments serving in the districls under your orders, are, upon this joyful occasion, to be released from confinement on the 25th of this month, the Anniversary of his Majesty's Ac_ cession to the Throne, and be allowed to return to their duty.

They also came a resoluon to have I smoo lamp.: put up on the Bank for hint-11k,, timing it on the night of the Jcbilee day. On Saturday the Directors of the Royal Exchange In.inrance Fire Office agreed to give each of their clerks ttt guineas, their messengers five guineas each, and their firemen one guinea each, to celebrate the Jubilee day. The Bachelors of Windsor, who have recovered their ancient chat ter, in consequence of the celebra tion of the Jubilee, his MAJESTY havifig entered in- . to the fiftieth year of his reign, will bait a bull on Thursday, upon their acre, as asserting their rights, and rejoicing upon the occasion. There will be grand balls at all the inns in Wind sor on •the Jubilee day. The QUEEN and Princess ELIZABETH are con stant in their attendance at her Majesty's house at Frogmore, to inspea the preparations going on there and in the gardens for the celebration of the Jubilee. The Jubilee will be celebrated with every demon stration of joy in the country round Windsor. Capt. VYSE, of Stoke, gives an ox roasted whole, I I with plum puddings, and six butts of strong beer. On Friday his MAJESTY sat for between two and three hours for his bust, for the purpose of having a correE likeness, and it is to be called the Jubilee bust. It is to represent his MAJESTY in the full dress Windsor uniform. The preparations going forward at her MAJESTY'S Lodge, at Frogmore, are extremely splendid for the celebration of the Jubilee, and every exertion is made to make it one of the grandest entertainments , ever given of the kind. The sheet of water in the gar den, which is at the back front of the Lodge, in the centre of which is an Island, in which is erecting a magnificent temple, and a bridge to cross the, water, for the purpose of displaying grand fire-works,which are to be let off for about halt an hour. Round the walks of the delightful gardens are erecting tempo rary posts for the purpose of having variegated lamps for the illumination. An immense number of tran r sparencies for Trogmore andthe town of Windsor are preparing. The interior of the house will be tastefully deco rated. The QueeN,.and Princess ELIZABETH have attended daily during the last week to inspea and give directions for the arrangements; they attended from ten o'clock till near one, when her Majesty' re turned to the Castle to attend his MAJESTY .at his dinner. The artificial - flowers to decorate the rooms are hung under the tasteful direction of the Princess ELIZABETH. There are to be a number of new • lustres hung upon the occasion. Her MAJESTY has invited 100 of the young Gen tlemen of Eton College to partake of the festivities of Frogmore. On Friday her MAJESTY'S Librarian• issued one thotisand tickets of , invitation to the I\robilitfand persons of distinetion, which had been engraved kir the occasion with the words " Jubilee, Oa. o, 1809, Frogmore Lodge." A large number of tickets are issued for the in hibitants of Windsor and its vicinity, to 'see the fire-works and entertainments. The privates and non-commissioned Officers of the Staffordshire Militia are to have given them by their officers, roast beef, plum pudding, and two pots of ale, to each man, to celebrate the Jubilee ; but they are not to have them till the day after, as they will be wanted to assist in the commemoration on the day of the Jubilee. There is a handsome subscription, we hear, in the parish of Greenford, Middlesex, for a dinner on the 25th, for the labouring people of that parish, to the number of 200, the overplus, if any, to be laid out for the relief of the poor during the winter. All children above five years old admitted. Young chil dren taken care of by women appointed for that purpose. At Stratford-on-Avon a subscription has been opened for the purpose of providing the poor of that town the comforts of a good meal, and to cheer their hearts on the 50th anniversary of a good Mo narch's accession to the Throne; the Corporation intend likewise to attend Divine service, and after wards dine together. The liberality of the people or Sheffield is praise worthy ; every poor man who has attained the age of 71, being the years of the•KaNro, will on Wed nesday receive a great coat and a sum ot money, to celebrate the accession of the KING to the Throne; other liberal donations are intended to be made throughout the whole town for the necessitous poor. At a meeting held at the TOwn 'Hall, in Yar mouth, J. FISHER, E. 41. Mayor, in the Chair, it was resolved. That instead'or sub scription should be entered - into for snmilying'the p o or with 'neat, bread, &c. and that the stabscrip tion should extend to prisoners continua in this pri son for small debts, and the Mayor and C . :;:;?peralion to attend divine service at St. -Nichola.,'s Church, `. and a verniandLome dinner will be 'provided for the , corporate body on that clay,_ k ++,~ „ t Or 1111 G - INTEL LIdENC SATORD.Y, OCT 21. - -•- Sweepstakes of i 0,.. :s. each*.

The great encouragement given to the late in. digo sales has induced the Company to send out orders fur a considerable increase:in their ensuing season's investment, with parficUl . ar injundions to pay the strictest attention to the cultiva - ion and improvement of that valuable article.

It is remarkable that another stage-waggon, 13-;:iouging to Mr. Roodhouse, of Stamford, was overturned directly opposite to where Mr. Hunt's lay.. The driver was giving his horses' some hay as thQy went along, and was so neat the team before him„ as that the horses were frightened by the noise of the overturning, and in despite of the exertions of the driver, galloped a feiv yards, and overturned the wagon on the opposite side a the road to that on which Mr. Hunt's lay.
